[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They won't necessarily know your kid took a language before 9th because it won't be on the transcript (you may need to ask for it not to be on there...) But most of the top colleges want to see rigor across the board, that means AP in all classes, including languages. If you're starting a new language in 9th you'll only get to 4th year in that language by 12 and your kid will be applying against others who started in 6th grade, completed AP in 10th or 11th[/quote] Nobody care which year you take the AP language test.[/quote] But if you start a new language in 9th you won't be taking it at all! [/quote] I think that it must depend upon the school and the sequence. My private school had small classes and excellent teachers. I was able to start French in 9th and take AP French Language in 12'th grade with a 5. No immersion or foreign travel. My class size ranged from 3-10 students, depending upon the year.[/quote]
